I'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is 217, triglycerides are 163, HDL is 48, and LDL is 145. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5'10". Do you think I should start medication for cholesterol, or would simply making some lifestyle changes be enough?
Based on your cholesterol levels, medication may be required in addition to lifestyle changes. To lower your LDL cholesterol level of 145, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Along with this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is also recommended.

Hey, I came across a service called chc healthwatch that offers portable echocardiograms you can do at home. Are these tests just as reliable and accurate as the ones performed in a lab? I'm a bit hesitant to go to a lab right now because of the covid situation, so I'm hoping this could be a good alternative. What do you think?
"Hi, portable echocardiograms done at home can be reliable and valid for assessing heart function. One commonly used portable echocardiogram device is the Philips Lumify, which provides high-quality images and can be used by healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis. However, it is important to ensure that the healthcare provider performing the test is trained and experienced in using the device to obtain accurate results. The convenience of at-home testing can be beneficial, especially during the current covid situation. It is recommended to discuss the option of portable echocardiogram with your healthcare provider to determine if it is suitable for your specific medical needs."

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past six months, and it only happens when I take a deep breath. The pain is right in the middle of my chest. I'm kind of worried because I'm not having any other symptoms like breathing issues, coughing, or blood. It's just this gas problem I have. Could this be something serious like cancer?
